I have used rutiximab on two occasions. I took rutix infusions for two years during chemo and after while being treated for marginal zone lymphoma. I also had 4 infusions while on prednisone for my WAIHA condition. My lymphoma is in remission, for now.
My wAIHA is not. The rutiximab is a benign medication with little side effects.

Like many, I tend to engage with these boards when things are in crisis, or discouraging (re:my son, who has AIHA and other autoimmune blood disorders). When in remission, we happily ignore all this. As a consequence, I think negative or discouraging inputs dominate, so I wanted to take a minute to report that the Rituxan infusions went smoothly and triggered a remission and a tapering/cessation of prednisone. Yay!! We know from experience that such remissions may not be permanent, but a return to normal health is worth celebrating every day, and a reminder that treatments keep improving, and do help. Stay positive, and good luck to all.

Rituximab was not successful for me at all. I am back on prednisone. I had no side effects from it while under treatment or after.

My daughter did very well with Rituxan infusions she was very sick and still required 6 blood transfusions and high doses of Prednisone to get her hemoglobin from 4.4 to 14 They had just talked to us about Chemotherapy or removing her spleen luckily her levels started to improve about then!

In the hospital I did not respond to prednisone. I had one rituximab drip and was able to go home in a few days after a modest good response.
